Playoffs to expand to 10 teams?

[Dash]

NEW YORK -- Commissioner Bud Selig expects the playoffs to expand from eight teams to 10 for the 2012 season.

 

Selig went public last fall with his support for expanded playoffs, and the matter is subject to collective bargaining with the players' association.

 

"I would say we're moving to expanding the playoffs, but there's a myriad of details to work out," Selig said Thursday at his annual meeting with The Associated Press Sports Editors. "Ten is a fair number."

 

Selig said scheduling is the major issue of discussion, including how many games the new wild-card round will be. The two wild cards in each league would meet, and the winners would advance to the following round against division winners.

 

"The more we've talked about it, I think we're moving inexorably to that," he said.

Haha no wonder I was like 'wow 10 teams per conference is way too many' lol

 

But yeah, it's about time baseball expanded their playoffs. Except I would do 6 teams in the AL and NL instead, it's a nice even number

It's an interesting theory, maybe a 3 game series between the two wild card teams. Right now I'm against it, I think the current playoff system is fine, however I wouldn't be opossed to doing this.

I like the idea behind it (kind of), but overall I am against it.
